Prevention:
Using the following model, the author suggests a double witnessing technique for prevention of embryo mix-ups. This means that there is a primary and secondary operator throughout the IVF procedure. The problems with this are as follows:
1)Too much work is required for the staff. A solution to this is to hire someone simply to double check the work, but this is extremely expensive.
2)Secondary operator is not careful with their job. Risk Analysis can backup this conclusion since the primary is responsible for problem with the procedure.
Another prevention technique employs technology that can assess barcodes. This works 100% of the time. I would recommend this for the company. Even in the event that this does not turn into a major lawsuit, this is important for future safety, and quality of the laboratory.
